It’s Chicago: Seahawks will face Bears in divisional playoff

Share this:

Well, Seahawks fans, this has to be pretty close to ideal, doesn’t it?

Green Bay took a 21-16 win over Philadelphia in the weekend’s second NFC wild-card playoff game, meaning the Seahawks will travel to Chicago to face the Bears in a divisional playoff game on Sunday at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

The Packers will play Saturday at Atlanta, the NFC’s No. 1 seed.

So if you can believe it, the Seahawks have not only made the playoffs with a losing record, but they’ve won a game, will face a team they’ve already beaten in the second round (Seattle beat Chicago 23-20 at Soldier Field on Oct. 17), and still have an outside shot at hosting the NFC championship game.

That will happen if Seattle and Green Bay each win next week.

A long shot, yes. But so is everything else that has happened so far this weekend.
